Gold Encrusted Donuts Are Selling For $140 Each

Updated 6 January 2016 at 5:11 pm

A bakery in New York has just introduced the next food craze, but it comes with a hefty pricetag.

Manila Social Club in Brooklyn is selling gold-encrusted donuts for $140 AU each – and apparently, they’re already selling out.

Featuring champagne icing, champagne jelly, and 24-karat (edible) gold flakes, the delicious treats already have a celebrity following, with Broad City’s IIana Glazer posting them to her Instagram account.

Chef Bjorn DelaCruz told food blog FirstWeFeast that the idea came to him after baking a dounut infused with beer and sprinkled with gold.

“The reason that gold leaf and Cristal were added was because I love all different champagnes,” he said. “I wanted to add something [to the menu] for the new year to celebrate how long we have been going.”

While the gold-encrusted donut craze is yet to hit Australia, we imagine it’ll only be a matter of time.

North Korea's suicide soldiers pose new challenge for Ukraine in war with Russia
After a battle in Russia's snowy western region of Kursk this week, Ukrainian special forces scoured the bodies of more than a dozen slain North Korean enemy soldiers. But it is among mounting evidence from the battlefield, intelligence reports and testimonies of defectors that some North Korean soldiers are resorting to extreme measures as they support Russia's three-year war with Ukraine. "Self-detonation and suicides: that's the reality about North Korea," said Kim, a 32-year-old former North Korean soldier who defected to the South in 2022, requesting he only be identified by his surname due to fears of reprisals against his family left in the North.
